Getting gorgeous and getting even: This here is a spite-fueled diet and exercise plan.

A vengeful challenge

I’ve hit a plateau in my weight loss. Oh, HOH, I say. This means that clearly I need to stick to my guns and perhaps work even a little harder. I’ve noticed that I feel the most proactive when I exercise twice in a day; once in the morning and once in the afternoon. That won’t always work with my schedule, but I’m going to try to fit in swimming, stretching, or an extra walk into my day. I’m upping the ante. Scale, you shall not cow me!

I have a vision.

Dream with me to the visioning place.

So, there The Man Who Dumped Me Is, walking along a hiking trail with the woman he left me for. A couple of miles in, they come to a lake, and There I Am. I am bikini clad and muscular; I do not see them. Instead, I jump from a low cliff, shrieking, and land in the water with a kersplash, and swim into the arms of my new lover… and I look happy, and The Man Who Dumped Me is both wistful and aroused, and the woman he left me for is envious and insecure. Yarr.

Today is a school day. For breakfast I’ve had a bowl of vegetable soup and will have an orange when I arrive at the school parking lot. For lunch, I’ve packed a tomato, an orange, a banana, and several prunes.

Went for a twenty minute swim.

Ate a pork chop. Pork chops are yummy as anything–they’re all fatty and sweet and mmmph. Yum. Then I had a few more prunes, because they’re my latest favorite thing.

Hello Beth! I’m thinking about swimming this afternoon, but I’m wondering what else I might try. I don’t want to mimic walking too much, because I want to spread the exertion all over my body. Maybe yoga would be good, or a super hardcore hike–to push beyond walking. Hm. What are you thinking of doing in the morning?

I have a 10 minute yoga on ExerciseTV on Demand that I like to do. It’s not hardcore but it definitely gets me moving a little. I’d also like to do a quick bike ride some days. I’m much more productive in the afternoons but it’d be nice to do a little something in the mornings!
